  1. 5. Genetic Engineering is a process used to change the genes of a living organism.
  2. 8. Artificial Selection is the selection of desirable traits in plants and animals.
  3. 10. Scientists who conduct experiments focused on research and development. They also investigate biological interactions of living cells and test new compounds. Research carried out in chemical biology has allowed scientists to discover new genes and explore DNA of plants and animals.

  1. 1. A living organism whose DNA has been altered or changed through genetic engineering.
  2. 2. A scientist who studies genetics or the science of genes, heredity, and genetic variations of living things. They may specialize in agriculture or bio medicine.
  3. 3. A scientist who studies soil management and crop production. Sometimes acting as a liaison between farmers and researchers. They recommend solutions to improve farming productivity.
  4. 4. Agricultural biotechnology is used to increase crop production, create GMO crops resistant to pests, drought, or weather conditions, produce food with higher proteins or vitamin content, develop and produce plants that contain vaccines or can be used for medical purposes to treat disease.
  5. 6. Genes are tiny strands of sequences that carry information about an organism.
  6. 7. Scientists who work with people to teach them more about nutrition and health. They study vitamins and minerals that people need in order to be healthy.
  7. 9. Selective breeding is the process of selecting parents with desirable traits to breed together in order to produce offspring with more desirable qualities.
